"Eight dogs in a pair of quadruple-level bunk beds make for a raucous bedtime shuffle in this clever, delightfully illustrated oversize comics-style board book." -- The New York Times (US)
"The dogs prickly personalities, de Monfrieds enthusiastic cartooning, and an innately goofy premise deliver laughs with every page turn." -- Starred Review, Publishers Weekly (US)
"While minimal speech bubbles help convey some action, much of the plot is to be discovered in the funny, detail-rich illustrations, which children will enjoy poring over again and again." -- Kirkus Reviews
